CASA Advocacy for Dual-Status Youth, Understanding the Juvenile Justice System

We are excited to share a new online and printable resource available on the Texas CASA website: CASA Advocacy for Dual-Status Youth, Understanding the Juvenile Justice System. 

Dual-status youth are children who are involved in both the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. CASA advocacy for these very vulnerable youth is critical and can serve as the bridge between the two systems in a way that supports healing and positive outcomes. This resource guide provides an overview of the juvenile justice system and supports a deeper understanding of the challenges dual-status youth face and how CASA volunteers can provide trauma-informed CASA advocacy.
